Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool without the mask.

Finally saw it yesterday. I liked that they kept their crazy tone consistent for the whole movie. I thought it was good and I enjoyed it but I don't think I would watch it again for at least a year. It felt like it would wear thin if I watched it again too soon.


edit: Oh I was going to ask...were they originally going to have a different Collossuuss?
He was funny but I thought he looked like bad CG being metal the whole movie.
 
Pretty cool that Miller and Blur were involved in Iron Man

Quesada explained that Marvel conducted focus group research in the early stages of producing the first "Iron Man" feature film, and that the research showed there were serious "awareness issues with the character, especially amongst kids." Kids didn't know who Iron Man was and "had no interest in him because they thought he was a robot." Interest increased noticeably when kids found out there was a person in the armor, which helped Marvel devise a plan to build awareness ahead of the movie's release.

The plan involved assigning a small group to create "Iron Man Advertorials," which would be three animated shorts with simple stories designed to introduce Iron Man to kids. They were given three rules to follow:

1- Clearly demonstrate that there was a man inside the armor.
2- Show off his wide range of cool powers.
3- Position him clearly as a hero on the same level as Spidey and Hulk by having those characters show how cool they perceive him to be and valued him as a peer.

Tim Miller and the team at Blur produced the "Advertorials" and, as Quesada writes, "knocked this assignment out of the park."

Last Friday, 3 showings from the time I showed up sold out. The following day, the same thing happened. And I checked several theaters around me btw. No surprised at the success. What's amazing is my gf wants to see the movie again, which she never does, let alone watch a super "hero" movie in the first place. Plan on watching it again this upcoming weekend.

He directed the opening sequence of Thor: The Dark World and he was designing some stuff for Captain America: Civil War when Deadpool got the greenlight as well.
On Captain America: The Winter Soldier
“That was the closest tonally, in terms of recent superhero films, to how grounded I wanted Deadpool to feel. People behaved in very reasonable ways. The action scenes weren’t overly gratuitous. That was a benchmark for me. I was working on the next Captain America, the third one, and they were letting me help design some of the big action scenes. That’s when I got the call about Deadpool. And [codirector] Joe Russo was like, ‘Dude, f— our film! Go do it.’”

Marvel movies still have yet to really break that problem. GotG is the only one that stands out, not counting overrated Loki.

The only good villain in recent Marvel movies was Corey Stoll in Ant-Man.

They wanted the original actor from the Singer X-Men movies but he declined because Miller wanted Colossus to be all CG and be bigger.
 
Didn't expect it to be as heavily X-Men tied as it was, but I loved it. Incredibly witty script, lots of fun, sheer hilarity.

The 128 hours bit killed me, not to mention the
SAY ANYTHING reference.
 
Never thought I'd see the day when a good Deadpool film hit the silver screen. Massive props to the creative staff for pulling it off.
 
Cheap Tuesdays FTW, and apparently many other people agree. I did not expect the theatre to be packed at 10:30 on a Tuesday night.

I quite enjoyed the film, especially since growing up, my friend conditioned me to liking toilet and perverted humour. Props to Reynolds and this whole team.
 
Watched it yesterday with a couple of friends. There's not much to this movie, actually. It's paper thin and the trailers give away the entire movie.

Still had a blast though, what a riot! The spitfire of jokes and references was almost too much to handle at times. Nearly pissed my pants on several occasions.

That is Deadpool though. His stories are rarely innovative or unique, but how they progress is entertaining as hell.

Some excerpts, more at the link:

In an earlier version of the script, Cannonball was Colossus’ young X-Men partner. That part was reworked to be given to the very minor character Negasonic Teenage Warhead. In the Empire Film Podcast (via Indiewire), Ryan Reynolds said that getting even two X-Men was a nightmare:

We went through such hell developing the script and which X-Men we could keep and which we couldn’t and it just turned into a nightmare. The studio would just say, ‘too expensive, too expensive, too expensive’ to everyone. So finally we were like well, “What about Negasonic Teenage Warhead” and they said, “Negasonic, what?”
Miller had another explanation, which was that Cannonball would have “been a stupid hick character.” Negasonic, on the other hand, opened up the realm of deadpan teenagers to the writers.

Taskmaster and a Bunch of Other Marvel Cameos

In the same podcast, Reynolds said that they had originally wanted to have Taskmaster, the mercenary with the ability to instantly replicate the physical skills of anyone he sees, in the film. This would have probably been a brilliant fight sequence and had mercenaries on both sides of the line. But, as Reynolds said:

We had endless [conversations about other X-Men]. Taskmaster was in the script originally, too expensive. We had versions where we wanted Hugh Jackman in there, we wanted all kinds of cameos from different people, but it just becomes a big mess for the studio.
Since Taskmaster has no abilities that need particular special effects—other than the usual hand-to-hand combat stuff—the expense had to be in a) the character rights, since Taskmaster is in the hands of Marvel now and b) just the general expense of a big fight sequence.

A Lot of Action

As we mention above, Reese told us that the last second cut of seven million dollars from the budget, which meant losing nine pages of action from the script:

There was a reduction of action. We had a motorcycle chase between Deadpool and Ajax on the freeway that we took out. We had a big, big gun fight in the third act that we took out and we basically had Deadpool forget his guns as a means of getting around it. So there were just reductions.
If you’ve seen the film, you’ll know that both of these cuts resulted in moments where Deadpool the character had to act as efficiently as Deadpool the movie was with its budget. Deadpool doesn’t chase Ajax, but he manages to cut him off by throwing his sword into the spokes of the motorcycle’s tire. And Deadpool has to sneak around instead of going in guns blazing at the end of the film.

Bob, Agent of Hydra

In the comics, Bob is an incompetent Hydra agent that is an occasional sidekick to Deadpool.S ince Disney and Marvel own the rights to Hydra, Bob was not available to the writers of Deadpool. So a different Bob shows up. Wernick explained to Cinemablend, “That’s why he’s just called Bob. The hardcore fans will go, ‘Oh my God, is that Hydra Bob?’ but the lawyers at Marvel won’t go, ‘Wait, that’s Hydra Bob, they don’t have the rights to it.’”

After the first trailer I went on total media blackout. I'm glad I did. I watched trailer 2 after seeing the film and was amazed at how much they gave away. Pretty disappointing. 100% media blackout for the sequel for me. I'm going in totally blind.

Yeah I wish they could kiss and make up. Deadpool is unique in that he can cameo in or rip off any cinematic universe, regardless of ownership. All studios should embrace him, at varying degrees.
 
Finally watched the movie. Loved it, can't remember the last time I laughed so much in the theater. The crowd loved it too I guess, most of them stayed till the very end.
As a long time Deadpool cult member, I'm very pleased they really did him right this time. Kudos to Ryan Reynolds, his big effort to make this movie happen and his acting.

This. This is a brilliant quote from him and a brilliant response from Russo
 
Finally said "fuck it" and saw Deadpool after work yesterday.

Holy shit, I had heard it was good, but I didn't expect it to be Iron Man 1 good! I had been worried that it would veer into "trying too hard" territory with its humor (like some Deadpool comics themselves). But the tone of the movie and the character is absolutely perfect. It was surprisingly refreshing to hear a superhero curse up a storm, because who wouldn't blow their top if they accidentally
let the bad guy get away right at the beginning
?

It's both a great Marvel movie and a great movie that takes the piss out of Marvel movies. I knew about the "McAvoy or Stewart?" line, but I laughed way harder at the follow-up "
These timelines are SO confusing!
"

The other biggest laughs for me were:

- Deadpool
sticking his head up out of the car wreckage and saying "Hey!" for a split second before getting shot at
- Deadpool
visiting Xavier's school
and commenting how he only ever sees Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead followed by
"It's almost as if the studio couldn't afford any more X-men!"
- Deadpool gorily breaking
his hands and foot while trying to punch Colossus and having them flop around
- The
wardrobe malfunction
mid-fight between Colossus and Angel Dust and Colossus' gentlemanly reaction

EDIT: I also greatly appreciated Deadpool flat-out saying during the after-after-credits scenes that
they're going to have Cable in the next movie. No beating around the bush, just a straight-forward "Hey, we're gonna have Cable in the sequel and it's gonna be cool. See ya!"

It's awesome how everyone, regardless of gender or region, seems to love the same scenes.
 
Loved it. Was worried the 4th wall stuff wouldn't work but it totally did. RR is great.

Also. FUUUUCCK that Batman VS Superman trailer. Spoiled the whole fucking movie
 
I kinda wish that Fox wasn't stingy with their Marvel Licenses and let Deadpool be part of the *Official* Marvel Universe. I'm sure Ryan Reynolds would love to be a part of it @_@ do it fox, do it for him.

Marvel and Disney never would have allowed an R rated Deadpool to happen
 
Really enjoyed the movie, not sure how much I'm going to enjoy it on repeat viewings when the jokes start to get stale and you're left with the underlying movie. Seeing a few of the jokes coming (because of the trailers) really sucked as well, but I can't blame them for it.

Honestly the saddest attempt at a villain, thrown away at the expense of a joke. Something Marvel is starting to get in the habit of and they weren't nearly as brash as was on display during GOTG. It'll never rank among my favorites, no where close because a hero is nothing without a villain.

This resonates with me, I had an Iron Man action figure as a kid and had no idea he was a superhero; I really did think he was just some robot. I legitimately didn't realize my mistake until the first time I saw the first Iron Man trailer. I didn't know that would be such a common mistake, haha.

Deadpool doesn't need MCU world for him to have a sandbox to playing around with. X-Men/Mutants has a large pool of characters several of which also happen to have connections with Deadpool is more than enough. Hopefully with the success of the movie FOX will let the sequels have more X-Men/Mutants being allowed to be in those movies.

At least it didn't end in a fistfight. That shit was so refreshing after seeing countless Marvel movies end in a similar way. Couldn't help but groan at the end of Deadpool when
there were two separate fistfights going at the same time and I couldn't be less interested in what was happening since I already knew who was going to win
. All I could think was "who really enjoys this?"

That worked perfectly in Guardians. Great moment.
 
I watched Deadpool and was over hyped for it. I did enjoy it, but damn I was thinking my overhype lead me to believe there would be much more. Very enjoyable movie though.

It was such a garbage joke and did not work at all. GOTG was meh at best, and the friendship power up was shit.
